Logic Buddy supports recovery of some types of project file corruption. Specifically, those types of issues that result in the error "The file couldn’t be opened because it isn’t in the correct format. The file might be corrupted, truncated, or in an unexpected format".
Logic Buddy can find and recover these project files very quickly and easily and do this for all corrupted projects at once to make this process easier and faster than manually messing with project file internals.
Why aren’t my corrupted project files showing up in the Project Recovery list?
This only happens for one of two reasons. Either that the project file is not in one of the monitored folders or Logic Buddy can’t recover the project.
Why are my Alternative names different then they used to be?
One type of project file corruption that Logic Buddy restores is missing meta data. This can include meta data that has the names of your project alternatives. If the project file is missing this information then Logic Buddy will generate new Alternative names that are just numbers after the project name. So you’ll have to change these in Logic Pro back to whatever they were before.
The recovered project isn’t exactly the same as it was before, why?
In some cases, a Logic Pro project file might be missing its project data. However, the developers at Apple have built in automatic backups which are generated since Logic Pro 10.1. If Logic Buddy finds a corrupted project which has backups but no primary project data then it’ll recover the project from one of the backups made by Logic Pro. If this happens then the project might not be exactly the same as it was when you last saved it but hopefully is at least better than total loss. If there was vital data that was not backed up by Logic Pro that was lost, then other file recovery software (like DiskDrill) could be of assistance.
